We sit down with Crystal Bain, Owner and Artistic Director, and Jessie Tulleners, Assistant Artistic Director of Ripple Dance Company — the first and only professional contemporary-modern dance company in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.
Founded by Crystal, Ripple Dance Company gives advanced and professional-level dancers the opportunity to continue their artistic journeys right here in our community. The company also offers youth apprenticeships, produces both live and screen dance performances, and even hosts an annual dance film festival.
Crystal shares her recent honor as the 2025 Dance Teacher of the Year by the Idaho Dance Education Organization and reflects on her journey as a teacher, choreographer, and creative force shaping the local arts scene. Together, Crystal and Jessie talk about their mission to make a ripple in the community — inspiring others through innovation, education, and a genuine love for movement.
